With latest updates on my device tried and it works :D thx for great job
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hayabusa_gsxr:
great job AwesomeLewis24.

I complete all steps and the device Z170CG ( p01y) boot into normal mode without any root rights.

After repeating the method, device is hanging on asus boot screen and even factory reset not helped.

Fortunately i was able to flash stock rom and device turned on and now working normally again.

wish me luck, i'm going to try rooting again. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] totalppl:
Asus p01z z170c tablet rooting access /custom recovery anyone?

Thanks for all your work and research. I must wait till I'm home and try this method out! Has anyone been working on a custom recovery for this!? Thanks again!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
Good luck buddy! If you could, do you mind sharing where you got the stock ROM from? This could come in handy sometime...

Also, [MENTION=5161194]totalppl[/MENTION] so far there's nothing in terms of custom recoveries or the such for this device. Maybe I'll see if there's any chance of an available TWRP port I can port over from a fellow x86 asus device. Until then, this is as far as we have gotten in terms of dev support. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] keithross39:
This (as it stands) is much appreciated.....

No need to hurry on the recovery front...

Root (for me at least) is the important bit....being able to use TiBu to get rid of the bloat.....that's my priority.....

Can confirm for me that the majority of the bloatware has been successfully removed and the tablet runs much cleaner now.

Thanks for the messages guys, but like I said credit is where it stands to the guys who found the root. :)

Thanks for the link, I've been searching on ends for stock ROMs for this tablet. It's been stressing me out! 4pda has been a good forum to us Zenpad users.

Other than that, maybe I'll link that in the top forum post, just in case worse comes to worse.

Need a little help

Okay, I am not sure what I am doing wrong, i can run the adb devices command and it shows that it is connected. After i run the adb reboot fastboot my p01z is at a green screen with the little android guy on it. Then I try to run the next command and it says waiting for device. What am I doing wrong? What info do I need to provide for some help? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
[MENTION=6946864]corvusfan23[/MENTION]

When you're in the green screen where it says "waiting for device", check your Device Manager (windows key + R, search for devmgmt.msc"). If you see your device with the yellow warning symbol next to it, it isn't correctly installed. Simply double click on it, and click browse to manually install the driver and click on either the Google / ASUS / Intel or any other compatible ADB driver and let it install. It should then be usable to and from your computer.

This happened with me and is quite frequent. For me however, the device kept connecting and disconnecting every 20 seconds so I had to be very quick at reinstalling the correct driver. After the driver was reinstalled for my tablet again in fastboot, I could continue on with the process.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] corvusfan23:
Okay I did end up getting my device rooted, how would I go about making a backup of my device? I saw something about titanium backup, and the next thing I want to do is remove the bloatware. Any help is appreciated!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
[MENTION=6946864]corvusfan23[/MENTION]

That's great to hear! To make a backup of your device, yes definitely I'd recommend Titanium Backup. It's a pretty powerful tool for root users to make full backups of the system, media, specific apps, etc. I haven't actually used it much myself as usually I don't keep much important stuff on my device (photos and music I usually keep in the cloud now) but on the odd occasion that I have used it, its been very good. I have it installed on my Moto G for "emergency situations".

Also, to uninstall the bloatware you can indeed use Titanium Backup but I'm quite a fan of Link2SD. I prefer the material design interface and the easy visuals, but that's just me. In terms of uninstalling bloatware, they work pretty much the same so its your choice. I've been loyal to Link2SD for a while now.

As far as bloatware comes, uninstall (or even better, freeze) as much crap as you want. I haven't experienced any problems with it so far - (on my old Acer tablet that I got at Christmas, the first thing after root I did was uninstall the Amazon app store. It bricked my tablet and there was nothing like stock firmwares around, or any dev support, so I returned it and got this asus). However, stay cautious and of course don't mess around with any apps that seem to be tied in with the system in some way.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] corvusfan23:
Last question I have for now. What apps would you recommend uninstalling/freezing? I don't use a lot of the asus apps that came with it. Could I get rid of the "Asus Demo" app and "Asus Support" apps?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
[MENTION=6946864]corvusfan23[/MENTION]

I've uninstalled most of the preinstalled apps (non asus) but also I've uninstalled some of the asus cloud and "do it later sort of apps. I've frozen the asus keyboard, the ZenUI launcher, and the built in browser as well because I use alternative Google apps.

Problem when executing

hello mluyben , if you find solution how to root the device can inform me of successful thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] itsonlymarco:
75 units (z370c) unlocked/ rooted - 15 LOCKED

Hello everybody, I bought 93 units of z370c (P01W) and thanks to AwesomeLewis24 I managed to unlock/root/supersu most of the units.

Unfortunately I have 16 of them that won't unlock, so I'm here asking advise and crosscheck my understanding of the procedure.

From my analysis, when the tablets first arrive the bootloader version is somewhere aroud 1535.500_M1S1, and that bootloader versionresponds to "fastboot oem unlock" command.

Once the device has been unlocked and rooted - with "fastboot boot root-z170c_cg.img" - nothing get's in the way of installing the binary code superSU and even further updates just requires you to re-apply that root image to gain root again.

But if the device has not been unlocked and rooted at first start -and let to update to the latest build - a new bootloader version 1621.500_M1S1 is applied, and that bootloader stops responding to fastboot unlocking commands of all kinds (oem unlock, flashing unlock, etc)

I think my only solution now is to downgrade the firmware to the one that came with it (WW_zenPad-12.36.5.22-20150828), but downgrading doesn't seem easily possible and Asus support is refusing to help.

As the root-z170c_cg.img works on my z370c, would the image contained in that raw zipped file in the thread (WW_Z170CG_V12.26.4.45-user-201512111951-rawdata) work with the z370c? Or will I end with a black screen and no bootloader?

AwesomeLewis24, would you share some light on my assumptions above with regards to bootloader versions and downgrade options?

Thank everybody for reading this and if my experience can be of help to anybody, please don't hesitate asking for more details..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] romanoman:
I was in pretty much the same situation. I rooted 30 devices, but 8 of them updated firmware even though I told them not to, resulting in bootloop.

I tried what you are suggesting, there was a condition about the device not being CG, I commented that out and got the device in a almost dead state. Everything was black, all screens, but this device still appeared in my windows device manager with working fastboot. I tried some other raw firmwares so right now I managed to basically completely brick it.

---------

But thanks to InvisiBot, I managed to downgrade the others. This was his suggested approach and it did work for me:

Download and unzip extracted_fwu_image_UL-P01W-WW-12.26.5.22-user.zip (Google Drive).

1. Reboot to bootloader (fastboot).

2. Execute the following commands:

fastboot flash vrl "D:\extracted_fwu_image_UL-P01W-WW-12.26.5.22-user\vrl.bin"
fastboot flash recovery "D:\extracted_fwu_image_UL-P01W-WW-12.26.5.22-user\recovery.bin"

3. Hold the power button until the device turns off.

4. Reboot to recovery and install "update.zip" UL-P01W-WW-12.26.5.22-user or any later.

Beware, when you download official firmware file (UL-P01W-WW-12.26.5.22-user), it has the right zip file in the downloaded zipfile (double zip), so you have to extract it first. Then it can be pushed as a regular update (adb sideload "file" for me).

And just in case anyone else needs to prevent Asus from installing its own new firmware on rooted device (ending in stucked bootloop), this is my method:

1) Install DisableService app and grant it root privileges

2) Disable these services:

a) Google Play Services - SystemUpdateService

b) Asus Launcher - UpdateService

c) Update Launcher - UpdateLauncherService

d) AsusServices - FirmwareUpdateService

e) FotaService - DMService​

Some of them might not be necessary, but I am rather safe than sorry.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] itsonlymarco:
Hello romanoman thank you for helping.

I followed your step-by-step and here is the outcome.

I start with a recovery 12.26.5.49-20160527 with a bootloader version 1621.500_M1S1 that is not responding to fatboot oem unlock: UNKNOWN COMMAND

so I flash vrl and recovery from the download extracted_fwu_image_UL-P01W-WW-12.26.5.22-user then hold the power button to kill the device.

I then restart into recovery and it nicely shows 12.26.5.22-10150828

So I then apply update from adb sideload, using freshly downloaded stock rom UL-P01W-WW-12.26.5.28-user.zip , after unzipping the first layer and I was able to downgrade !!

After restarting, I then reboot into fastboot, unlocked the device, apply the rooted boot file and install the binary for SuperSU.

Thank you so much for those files, I couldn't find them before.

Now I have two bricked units to sort, a little price to pay

Please, teach me master.

Now a little bit more serious: i'm really stuck on the part of adb reboot fastboot. After that, it says waiting for device and doesn't get out of there.

And before you ask, yes I have the drivers correctly installed when the tablet its on.

But, when it's in fastboot (green screen with droid), I hear the sound of connect/disconnect USB cable. And in the drivers it says no recognized.

What could possibly gone wrong??!?!??

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mluyben:
I can tell you that this works! :)

My tablet is now rooted without downgrading.

Thx!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chrisupi007:
If you have android sdk, adb and fastboot intalled already, try the codes again.

With the table on and USB debugging enabled, type "adb reboot fastboot" in the command prompt.

When you get to the green screen type these in order:

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock confirm
fastboot boot "C:\Users\{your PC user name here}\Desktop\root-z170c_cg.img"

Note: When I type "adb devices" I get nothing and when I type "fastboot oem unlock" I normally get an error and ignore it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mluyben:
I had to install the adb drivers in Windows under normal boot of the tablet, but also when the tablet was connected to the Pc in Fastboot mode.

So try to install the drivers in Windows for the Tablet in both modes, that did the trick for me.

Also change the fastboot code from:

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock confirm
fastboot boot "C:\Users\{your PC user name here}\Desktop\root-z170c_cg.img"

To:

fastboot oem asus-go
fastboot oem asus-go confirm
fastboot boot "C:\Users\{your PC user name here}\Desktop\root-z170c_cg.img"

This worked like a charm for me..

Rooting ASUS ZenPad C7 (7370CG) with Bonus

Guys!!! In case anyone had encountered the same problems i had, i just want to share after being enlightened by this thread that finally SOLVED my rooting my ASUS ZENPad 7.0 (

Z370CG; 16GB, 2GB RAM, Build: LRX22G.WW_zENpAD-12.26.5.49-20160527 release-keys 044030536_201506120105

) :)

Before anything else, i had problems (since i didn't clearly understand) how to find the drivers so that Windows would recognize my Tablet already in FASTBOOT MODE. But i got through this, whew! Then the former fastboot commands didn't work out for me until i discovered mluyben wonderful "new fastboot commands with the asus-go". When you punch these in, the CMD screen starts to respond. Then after confirming everything follows smoothly, then you can Flash the .img file given by AwesomeLewis24.

BONUS!!! :laugh::cool: I first followed AwesomeLewis24's thread, and as he WARNED that his procedure would erase ALL of YOUR DATA because "We will have to be factory resetting the tablet in order to unlock the bootloader and boot from the root img.". But in my case, i followed the NEW FASTBOOT COMMANDS given by mluyben, and from there the tablet re-booted. I waited and when it started all my previous apps and settings were still intact. Best of all, i installed superuser and root checker, and the tablet was already rooted! YAHOO!!! Thanks to the XDA forums!!!:highfive:

BTW: Even though i didn't lose my data, apps and other settings in successfully rooting my data, it still recommended to BACK UP! BACK UP! BACK UP! before messing with your device... just in case!!!

thanks again to everyone!!!:silly:

it should put you in cwm recovery, if your data is encrypted data mount or backup or modification wont work on data partition.

my tablet is MM not lollipop, so I had to build a boot.img to allow permissive kernel else I couldn't root, chain fire SuperSU is unable to unpack my boot.img so won't be able to unpack yours either. I used the http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120/page14 which installs SuperSu to system so unpacking boot.img isn't needed.
